forceful letdown

Just a funny story- I had just started nursing my little one, and she pulled off (like she does a lot) and my milk was squirting out like a water fountain! My SO gawked and then goes "so I guess that's how you know you have a supply issue" I laughed and nodded "forceful letdown and over supply; not a huge problem but yes that's how I know" once it slowed LO went back on. He was so shocked lol

Lol so I have a question I have it too but it seems to be all the time like he pulls off it doesn't keep squirting but when I pump I see that I constantly have a water fun stream and it really frustrates him. He loves to nurse and won't take a bottle for me. Any tips besides reclining block feeding and pumping off the letdown

I have this too. Are your babies putting on plenty of weight? My bubba isn't and I wonder if its because she oftens pulls off the breast because the milk flow is too much for her to handle or because I have oversupply and she is not getting enough hind milk? She also has many huge explosive nappies!

I stopped pumping and only nursed for over a week to bring my supply done- it was the only way I could get it to slow. I still have forceful let down but my supply is lower. I try to keep her on the breast for 20 minutes, burp, give it about ten minutes and then put her back down. The explosive diapers, green poops are way down and so is my discomfort. As for weight gain hers was really slow but I haven't had her weighted in about a week. But she seems to be doing a lot Better

I guess it really is true that we all want what we can't have. I read this post thinking, 'Man, I'd give anything to have that problem.' Haha. I'm totally jealous of you mamas that produce so much milk. We tried nursing and pumping for weeks and never got more than a trickle. So it's formula for my little dude. Guess my boobies are just for show...

I have that happen all the time. I'm glad I'm not the only one! The other day after a shower I was getting dressed before a feeding an all of a sudden milk was squirting everywhere! I almost felt like I had to take another shower.
